    Arizona Dry Ground Mountain Lion Hunt

    I recently was able to hunt with Logan Anderson of Seven Anchor Outfitters, in Kirkland, AZ. This part of the country and this type of hunting were both a new experience for me. I have always wanted to be able to hunt Mountain Lion, but was never able to afford to go on a traditional snow based hunt up north.

    To The Captain From This Kid

    I hesitate to write this for many reasons. I mean, take your pick; being teased when I was wet behind the ears and full of dreams for liking his music when seemingly his audience was drinking bottles of their favorite octogenarian nutrition shakes, or maybe I am reserved about writing my thoughts down because I won’t do…

    Something Old, Something New.

    I read a post on Instagram the other day and the there were two pictures of Case pocket knives and the author went on to explain that these were his Father’s and Grandfather’s knives and case was all the only brand they would carry. I had to smile as I too have my Father’s and Grandfather’s Case knives.…

    Dad’s Old Hunting Coat

    One of my fondest childhood memories is the elated look on my dad’s face when he returned from the woods after his latest hunt. He knew his land in northeastern Pennsylvania well, having grown up there, and he loved every inch of it. As the weather turned cold, and the small-game season started, Dad would walk through...

    Gun Dogs

    When Ruddy climbed into the deer stand he sat heavily like an old man and did not move for several moments. The quiet of the woods settled upon him like one of his Great Aunts hand stitched quilts. The Great Horned Owl called out “Hoo HooHoooooo HooHoo”. Farther down the hardwood grove by the mill creek another...

    North Carolina To Wyoming

    In the verdant landscapes of North Carolina, a seasoned hunter prepares for an unprecedented journey. Leaving behind familiar hunting grounds, he sets his sights on the expansive wilderness of the American West. His quarry: the majestic elk and the elusive pronghorn. This is not just another hunt, but a quest that promises adventure, challenge, and the thrill of pursuing some of the continent's most iconic game.

    Big Woods :Review

    If you’re like me, the name William Faulkner does not evoke the image of a rugged outdoorsman. Instead, it conjures a little white-haired man in a suit, dark-eyed and mustachioed, always posing with a pipe. Such is not the case with his contemporary, Ernest Hemingway, whose safari “grip & grins” depict a sporting life inseparable from his literary legacy. But…

    Freedom and Whiskey

    What does freedom look like? The definition of Freedom is, “The power to act, speak, or think as one wants without anyone interfering.” Sounds great, right? One thing to keep in mind is that freedom isn’t free and is bought and paid for by the blood shed of our American soldiers as well as those who are…
